Selling a surfboard in Howrah
Workshop and industrial employment keeps tools and equipment circulating constantly. Humidity here is as high as in Kolkata and storage conditions are always worth asking about.
The bridges across the river are the practical constraint on any collection, and traffic across them is heavy for much of the day. The engineering districts are dense and better reached on foot or by two-wheeler.
On machine parts and tools, ask what they came off and check for rust at the threads and bearings. Humidity here is high and it reaches the parts that are hardest to see.
Howrah, in West Bengal, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Kolkata, Durgapur and Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Howrah
